997 Rebuild Progress: Subframe Replacement and Front Tub Repair Complete

We’re showing you the snapped-off subframe and track arm parts from our 997 rebuild. We’ve replaced the damaged subframe, lower arm, and stabilizer links after a forklift collision. Our front tub repair is complete—thanks to the steel body, we didn’t need to cut anything out. The fender, bonnet, and bumper are heading to the paint booth, while the seats and other components are with the upholsterer. We’re also planning to apply side PPF to make the car look pristine again before delivery to our German buyer.

Repairing the 997: Glass Replacement, Roll Over Bars & Interior Upgrade

We continue working on the 997, discussing the front glass replacement we have coming in a few days from a quality aftermarket supplier. We’ve reset the roll over bars using the spring mechanism, and we’re planning to change the interior color to give the car a vintage look with Pepita and leather. Next time, we’ll visit Marcus from Afro West to select the materials.
